About

Tiago Thompsen Primo is a leading voice in educational technology, with a focused expertise in educational robotics (ER) as a catalyst for 21st-century skills development. His work centers on how ER can prepare students for a digital society, moving beyond technical proficiency to cultivate critical thinking, collaboration, and active citizenship. His most cited editorial, "Educational robotics as a tool to foster 21st century skills" (2023, 4 citations), synthesizes the growing consensus that robotics is not merely a technical subject but a powerful pedagogical tool for holistic learning. Primo’s contributions lie in framing ER as essential for equipping learners with the competencies demanded by modern citizenship, bridging the gap between theoretical skill frameworks and practical classroom application. His research underscores the shift from viewing robotics as a niche activity to a mainstream educational strategy. By highlighting the role of ER in fostering active, digitally literate citizens, Primo has helped shape the conversation around how schools can integrate technology to meet the challenges of the 21st century, making his work a key reference for educators and researchers alike.
